Dave Cappelen

Induction:
1995

Davy “Point Man” Cappelen was the starting place kicker and leading scorer at Florida State from 1976-79. The four-year letterman was a team leader who made kicking accomplishments seem effortless. Cappelen broke FSU’s career scoring record as a junior and as a senior scored 70 points, converting 14 of 22 field goals and 28 of 29 extra points. In 1979 against South Carolina, Cappelen connected on four of four field goal attempts, which included a kick of 51 yards. His four-year scoring total of 250 points gave him the scoring crown when he graduated. He was named to the All-Independent Team as both a junior and senior year.
